See the first desktop. Normally you reach here automatically.
You can change the loacle, timezone, keyboad at a time by GUI. If you change only the keyboard, you need not restart X.

On the LupQ-508, the e-mail client Sylpheed and the chat client Ayttm removed. The IceWM window manager and some applications are removed from Lucid Puppy 5.x. The main reason is i like the main release to be simple and to avoid confusion for the users. See the detail at CHENGES.

NOTE:

LupQ does not contain Adobe Flash Player. Install the libflashplayer PET from here.

You can install additional pets form the quickpet and/or puppy-lcid repogitory but do not install 'Update Lupu510-003' nor 'UpdateLupu511-002'. They are already fixed on LupQ.

Upgrading from old lupqsave of lupq-00x, you may get dependency warning, like gtk+, tk, but no harm ignore them.

LupQ is now at beta stage. It is expected to work stable, but you are strongly encouraged to report on this topic.

devx: use lupu_devx_510.sfs available from 01micko. But you need to rename it as like lupu_devx510.sfs(remove '_' before '510') to use on lupq. Additional sfs files can be placed at root(/mnt/home) or at subdirectory(/mnt/home/<psubdir>).

WHATS ADD the QuickSet edition on Lucid Puppy 5.1:
Playdayz,01micko, WhoDo and the team produced the latest and brilliant release, Lucid Puppy version 5.1.
Lupu-5.1 is brilliant but is half way. i intend to offer its modification 'QuickSet Edition' as 'LupQ'.
I am appreciated if this one can be one of the basis of next Lucid Puppy and Pupplets.

Graphical boot menu with 'Safe mode'(no X). Or, how you can type 'puppy pfix=nox' or 'puppy pfix=ram' if your keyboard layout is different from 'us'?

Keyboard layout menu at 'Safe mode'(no X).(lupq-006 and later)

New GUI country wizard easy to set locale, time zone and keyboard.

Desktops are I18N ready.

Grub4Dos with GUI allows any file system Puppy supports(fat/ntfs/ext2/ext3/ext4/riserfs). This enables to install lupq on PCs, commonly in Windows pre-installed ones, without linux partitions.

Frugal installer, easy to install.

ACPID supports power button and lid of notebook PC's.(lupq-004 and later)

Winfonts, an aid for PC's dual booted with Windows. (lupq-004 and later)

The boot menu:
Try 'Safe mode' if you failed with direct desktop. The 'Safe mode' reaches the console, appears another menu to select your keyboard layout. Then you can type 'xorgwizard' to choose proper driver.

WHATS REMOVED from Lucid Puppy 5.1:

Removed translations of some major applications such as gnumeric and abiword - will be provided as additional packages.

Adobe flash Player - can be instaled via internet.

Some development files from /usr/lib

Documents like changelog from /usr/share/doc

Some graphic files in /usr/share/pixmas reduced size.

The diet results 114MB(lupq-507) .iso file, 16MB less than lupu-510.iso.
The size of main sfs file is important to run on 256MB RAM PC. The lupq-507.sfs is 109MB.

OTHER NOTES:Additional SFS files
Lupq reads additional sfs files both from root(/mnt/home) and from subdirectory(/mnt/home/<psubdir>), same as the most recent woof.
But also Lupq uses special init script in initrd which is delived from the 431JP. Significant differences are in reading main and additional SFS files. One of the importance, the additional overrides main sfs if the sfs has conflict files.
See Puppy Linux 431JP release note section 'Differences from original version', item 2.

My intention is mainly because of two reasons.

Lupu-5.1 goes directly to the desktop. It is happy for most of people. But not so happy for those using keyboard other than 'us'. They have to go to console and go through all the process, locale, timezone, keyboard and X.

Lupu-5.1 has some translations for some languages, and it becomes fat... lupu-510.sfs has 126MB in size. It may be critical runnig on PCs with 256MB RAM.

For the first time, i tried to remove only the translations which cannot display, such as CJK languages. But also i realized the translations for the rest languages still need more files. For example, the locale fr_FR makes the gnumeric menu into french but it still speaks 'Yes/No' instead of 'Oui/Non'. if i add those files, the size of the Live CD will increase 10-20MB more. It must be critical for the PC's with 256MB RAM.

In the QS edition, major translations, abiword, gnumeric, etc. are removed. Some translations, for example quickpet are still built in.
I made another diet to the original and the size of lupq-507.sfs is 109MB, whereas lupu-510.sfs has 126MB.

I hope we might find an improved boot up menu in Lucid 5.2
At first I was going to say without the Windows option
but then I dual booted for many months before
kicking the Windows habit years ago - so maybe that is worth considering . . .
For me having an Ubuntu option would be useful
as I use Ubuntu Lucid Lynx aprox 10% of the time from HD to complement
my boot from Puppy Lucid DVD routine (I never bother with even a frugal install of Puppy)

Hope you are able to address some of the issues already raised in subsequent posts
Personally I will be sticking with the 'excellent' Puppy Lucid 5.1

1) I dont get my locale (fr_FR) ; for example geany icon is 'edit'.
Idem for 'Start, Menu...
Only the QuickPet (01micko) is French language.

2) Keyboard :
-- If I choose 'azerty' (that I did in others Puppies) my keyboard is died.
Keys did not run and always the numlock led was on 'switch off'
......
New CD-Live...
I choosed 'fr' (and not 'azerty'):
My keyboard was good ( key a => a) but always... no fr_FR locale

With Lupu 510 and your new lang_support_all-1.5.sfs it's the same thing : died keys
But with lupu the 1-4.sfs was good.
------------------------------------------
3) The pupsave : fonts are too big....impossible to write a name ( same problem with the old lupu 508
----------
If that can help you.

I've done a full install (v. 001) and been running it most of the day. Been running perfectly for me so far. Nothing to report. Other tan the small things you just updated in 002. I'll keep you posted.

Tnx for testing report.
1)As for the translations, it is expected behavior. Lupq has not major translations.
2) confirmed 'azerty' does not work. Will you try the attached? extract and find /usr/sbin/keymap-set, override the existing file. /usr/share/i18n/layouts does not need to replace.
3) The console font problem is puzzling and needs more investigating.

Hello shinobar,
Thank you for that version of Lupu.
A few small thing.
I had to change line 9 (#export LANG=C instead of export LANG=C) in /usr/sbin/gparted_shell, to get Gparted in French.
Otherwise no problem except that we must first accept the US keyboard and restart x before to choose the French keyboard.
I can make a package of the french .mo files for french users, if needed.

As for some shell scripts and language packs, i am planning them as the next step.(EDIT: starts from lupq-003)

even after you install keymap-set-20100812?
The first desktop is 'us' keyboard. then install keymap-set-20100812.pet, choose any of keyboad from the countrywizard... it shall change the keyboard settings on the fly, no?

If you change the timezone and/or locale, a dialog pops up asking 'You need to restart X...', but at this point of time (you can reply 'No' for the dialog), the keyboard already works as the new settings. You can confirm it on the virtual terminal or another applications.
Isn't it...?Last edited by shinobar on Sun 15 Aug 2010, 20:31; edited 1 time in total

The update release of lupq-003 has some translations of Main menu.
And the sub-menu is like that of Fatdog64.

I was wondering why the submenu on lupu is half broken, and they are regular on fatdog64.
The reason was the version of libgnome-menu: Lupu uses libgnome-menu.so.2.4.6, and fatdog /libgnome-menu.so.2.4.2.
I rolled back the libgnome-menu2 to the same as fatdog.

Quirky uses more older version, libgnome-menu.so.2.0.2. The submenu shows in quirky is the same as classic puppies:
Which do you like better?
